Video of the Book Launch

The world is witnessing the fastest economic growth in Asia. Nanotechnology is believed to revolutionize industry in years to come and will have a significant economic impact. This book summarizes the efforts of Asian economies in pursuing nanotechnology, and their determination to be world leaders in the industry and economic development in the 21st century. The book provides an overview of the latest nanotechnology policy, infrastructure, research and development highlights and business trends in 13 economies including Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

With contributions from the top policy makers, government R&D institution executives and distinguished scientists from the 13 economies in the Asia Pacific region, this is the first book ever to provide comprehensive information and insights on Asian capabilities in nanotechnology. It will draw great interest from government policy makers, economists, academics, industry professionals, and investors who are engaged in strategy making, R&D, investment and business development in Asia.

“This book is the first comprehensive overview on the R&D and business trends in the Asia Pacific region. Information provided in this book will inspire industry executives to develop updated strategy for working especially with the emerging powerful Asia Pacific economies in the field of nanotechnology which I believe is a key enabler for developing a sustainable society.”

“This is the most up to date and state-of-the-art authoritative book on the current and projected nanotechnology scene in the Asia Pacific Rim. It sheds light not only on focus areas but funding and infrastructural systems behind these massive projects.”
Dr James Gimzewski
Elected Fellow of the Royal Society, UK and
Director of Core Lab of California NanoSystems Institute, USA
 
“This book is, in my opinion, the only reference written in English delivering an impression about the general nanotechnology activities in the Asia Pacific. The content is a comprehensive database for governmental strategists, industries seeking international collaboration partners and for statisticians performing benchmarking studies. It is a great challenge to collect all the information together and this book is worthy to become the definitive book for nanotechnologists discussing Asian emerging nanotechnology power activities.”
